While our local Sans Rival has long been lording over the market as Negros Oriental’s favorite pasalubong, small local businesses producing unique products through personalized services have shown that they cannot just survive, but thrive and expand beyond our provincial borders in the ever-evolving landscape of commerce,
Zigmund Enterprises whose primary product is calamansi or lemoncito concentrate; MLC Food Product Manufacturing whose product is “tuyo” or dried fish flakes; and Herbs R Us whose products are from organic ingredients, such as turmeric and ginger are leading the way in expanding their businesses, giving economic opportunities to our farmers and labor sector.
By leveraging the rich biodiversity of Negros Oriental, these companies source the finest ingredients, ensuring that every product is crafted with care and precision. This dedication to quality has earned them a loyal customer base, not just locally, but nationally. Their range of products are now staples in households far beyond our province.
Apart from embracing modern marketing strategies, they have leveraged the strength of utilizing social media platforms to reach a broader audience. Their online presence is robust, with engaging content that educates consumers about the benefits of their products.
The success of these businesses has a ripple effect on the local economy. As they expand, they create more jobs and opportunities within Negros Oriental. They also set an inspiring example for other local entrepreneurs, demonstrating that with dedication and innovation, small businesses can achieve remarkable success.
There are other local businesses who are on the path to expansion, such as Don Joaquin Food Shop, which sells pastries, local delicacies and other pasalubong items.
The stories of these local businesses are a source of pride and inspiration. They remind us that our province has the potential to compete on a national and even global scale. By continuing to support and celebrate our local entrepreneurs, we can ensure that more businesses from Negros Oriental will follow in their footsteps, spreading the spirit of our community far and wide.
As we move forward, let us remember that every purchase we make from a local business is a vote of confidence in our community’s future. Let’s continue to support, celebrate, and champion the small businesses that are making big waves beyond our provincial borders.
